Growing strong, the voice of my father said, “Don’t give up, don’t be forgotten.” This hell on earth, I just want to run away They told me dreams don’t grow from here Stay alone, count your fears Somewhere down the line I might figure it out

We’re always runnin’ away And we don’t even stop to think about it The world’s in our hands, yeah They don’t need to understand We do it our own way, No matter what they try to say about it We’ve got our own plans, yeah They don’t need to understand

They don’t need to understand

What made me tough almost killed me At least that’s how I remember the story Over the years I’ve forgotten how it was But I survived and I won’t walk down The same old road that they all followed It only leads to a life not meant for me

We’re always runnin’ away And we don’t even stop to think about it The world’s in our hands, yeah They don’t need to understand We do it our own way, No matter what they try to say about it We’ve got our own plans, yeah They don’t need to understand

Streets in my hometown seem strange now They feel like a distant memory I’m always fighting ‘cause I know you’re trying But you can never take this dream from me

We’re always runnin’ away And we don’t even stop to think about it The world’s in our hands, yeah They don’t need to understand We do it our own way, No matter what they try to say about it We’ve got our own plans, yeah They don’t need to understand
